sorry for double post, i wanted to ad on to last post. from everything ive gathered, the dirt needs to be deep enough for the monitor to dig deep enough to fit its whole body, so right now my black throat is about 15 inches, so the 16 - 17 inches i am supplying right now is bare minimum and not anywhere near optimal from my understanding, and also a poor amount and i feel like you will be even more blunt about it haha. i am doing my best to attempt to create optimal conditions for the black throat, ive searched intensely for more information but i cannot find any sources that go by your guidelines, other than reading experienced keepers forum entries.
